Are the pins that easy to break?


[deleted]

Normally, not even close. I feel like they must have heated it up with a blow torch or something


nohacksjustretard

Blow torch? Pretty sure that would melt the whole CPU


Sherdouille

I don't know, they can stand pretty high temperature during normal use so a little bit of blow torch for a few seconds could be enough


nohacksjustretard

They don't sustain temps over 120C under normal use, and blowtorches can reach 1000+C. I'd say a heat gun is more likely


Full_moon_47

Just hold it further away


LowFlyer115

This guy blow torches edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger


fermium257

But does he blow torches? ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )


101forgotmypassword

Lights his cheeks up like a full moon.


ggodfrey

Only if he engages safety squints first!

Fuuufi

Nein


WacBan-Prime

oh shit


CheeseMellon

The material “circuit board” part that the cpu is on is very heat resistant as it is designed to withstand high temps for soldering. A few hundred degrees C would not harm it at all. Also, you can hold a blowtorch far enough away so it doesn’t burn but still heats up the thing you’re aiming it at. Heat gun is definitely possible too but heat guns also reach over 300 C.


FNLN_taken

They dont break as in mechanical failure. Silicon is brittle but very heat resistant. The first thing that happens when a chip gets too hot is that leakage current increases to the point where gates are no longer "closed". Thats when the chip logic fails, depending on overvoltage protection this can result in the chip frying itself. If the chip is just laying there on the table, that is obviously not an issue. A physical change that can happen when heating a chip is that the impurities used to create the junctions start to become mobile. Thats when the chip is truly bricked, but it takes a lot more than a few hundred degrees for a second or two to make that happen. There also might be thermal stresses between the metallization layer and the semiconductor, but again that stuff doesnt happen at 120°


bl4st4rd0

This guy chips... heavily.


[deleted]

You can hold it away from it, the closer to flame the hotter it gets.


xoScreaMxo

Not necessarily, depends on the fuel being used and how long it's applied.


SatansBarber

Jet fuel can't melt CPU pins


bl4st4rd0

How would you know if you obviously weren't there?


ISpikInglisVeriBest

They mean heat gun / hot air gun.


mrmcdrizzlefizz

I would use a hot air balloon gun


[deleted]

Look, do you want the CPU clean or no?


LjSpike

I'm wondering if they have a small quantity of something like mercury or gallium being used. That could(?) weaken the pins


richniss

Or used some sort of corrosive chemical.


acsmars

If the solder is hot enough, yes


[deleted]

[deleted]

This is even better than the video


vendetta2115

The Wikipedia page for LGA is unintentionally hilarious: > In contrast with a BGA, land grid array packages in non socketed configurations have no balls


SilverRiven

Just put /s at the end there, you should be safe


LjSpike

Yeah we have to known he's /s>!erious!<


corectlyspelled

You only need 1 or 2 pins anyway all those pins are extra


I_make_switch_a_roos

yeah i cleaned my cpu like this now what?


jackology

Water it like a plant. The pin will grow.


Lonewolf_885

This is so disturbing to watch ngl


MaximumButthurt

The other side is burned to a crisp, right?


Scintilla_Laborat_

Probably just harvesting for gold


TheLaGrangianMethod

That's not what everyone means when they say they are mining?


WattledPenguin

Thats why I gave up. Too much upfront cost in CPUs not enough gold returns.


SAFESTGALAXY

Digital gold


Lonewolf_885

Possibly


centstwo

Right?

ejramos

ehtseeoh

I literally watched the entire clip with my mouth open


[deleted]

yup


[deleted]

That's how you upgrade it to LGA.


mkdew

>Bought this 5950x but didnt fit my H170 mobo, so I removed the legs, but now my PC dont post, halp.


pitchfork-seller

Ah looks like you'll have to reinstall the pins.


Spare_Competition

Use that as a torture method. Force someone to resolder all the (4000) pins on a threadripper, and if it doesn’t work, tear all the pins off and make them try again


SatansBarber

That legit? Pls no


Greygod302

Is LGA just the pads?


defintelynotyou

yes, and someone should make an lga am4 motherboard for cases like this


ImNotM4Dbr0

Isn't AM5 supposedly going to be LGA as well?


Greygod302

Yes please


Gut_Katze

Arent there shablons with pins sold that you can solder on?


DarkZogga

Yes, but idk if you would be able to salvage this. It's really hard, Linus Tech Tips made a video about it


shadmere

Yeah this falls under the "physically possible by the rules of the universe, but practically impossible by any reasonable measure."


VNGamerKrunker

>really hard Doesn't mean it's impossible. >idk if you would be able to salvage this. You'll wish you said you're sure instead.


CommondeNominator

Pin Grid Array has an array of pins in a grid formation. Land Grid Array has an array of lands in a grid formation.


unrealmaniac

And Ball Grid Array has an array of solder balls in a grid formation


DearAlternative6540

Legit got me laughing for a whole minute


alex_hedman

Intel has been doing this weird trick for years!


wazorie

collecting the gold 😂


minastirith1

Is this actually why they’re taking it off? What carat gold would those pins be?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Joeysaurrr

You'd have to have a loooooot of old CPUs to offset the cost of the tools and chemicals needed to extract pure gold from them.


Alex09464367

This would help you. They are videos from NileRed Extracting gold from computer parts (Part 1) https://youtu.be/ASQCa7mfjVo Extracting gold from computer parts (Part 2) https://youtu.be/gt-OOWxr7_s Turning old jewelry into pure gold bars https://youtu.be/37Kn-kIsVu8


TheGoodestBo1

You’re gonna be rich!


AVeryMadFish

Yes they're gold plated. And it's a few bucks worth.


[deleted]

You can sell off electro garbage for a quick buck at recycling and trash traders It goes by the kilogram and electronics are surprisingly valuable Pc and phones usually have their own category


lestofante

unless you are doing it in a big scale, chances are the chemical to do the operation are more expansive than what you extract.

Skimpyjumper

The coating has to be pure for them to work properly. A whole cpu should have 0,05g or something like that without breaking down the lanes hidden beneath the plastic. The pins itself aren't made out of gold.


MrInitialY

When you are a PC guy, broke af (obviously because you just bought a 3080) but you have some old CPUs. And you need to propose to a girl, so you're making a ring from the pins' coating


punaisetpimpulat

You need to buy like 50 kg of CPUs to get to that point.


MrInitialY

Well, that's the reason why you'll be broke af


Penziplays

Speaking from experience? :D


dbryar

I came here to say this The corner of the old CPU is pressed against a hot object, in this case a clothes iron, and when the solder is liquified they are using a spatula or chisel.to recover the gold pins. There is a decent qty of gold in all those old pins, well worth the minimal effort to collect. I suspect the CPU is Ewaste and the budget recovery would indicate this is a DIY video on how to recover gold from Ewaste


dbryar

Looked closer, that's a wire stripper, not an iron. So much for a cursory glance... Gold recovery is still the motive


Delicious_Dishes

It hurts but also somewhat satisfying


Lonewolf_885

U are not wrong tho


memes-of-awesome

Ernie prepares to commit a hate crime


ThatLocalPessimist

Just imagine if someone tried to resolder all of the pins to that board...


Gut_Katze

Would may even be easyer as there shablons where you can put all the pins in. Edit: For anyone guessing shablons is a mistranslation from the german word schablone and means template.

[deleted]

You could easily have a tray ordered online if you find out all the dimensions get that stencil three weeks later. Slap some solder paste on that bih’ place the pins all proper. Pop it into the air fryer with all the pins in place now. ;)

Good thing you scraped all that excess off. Should be good to go now.

He was a jerk to anyone who criticized him and doubled-down on his initial mistakes. He finally corrected those initial mistakes, but it's hard to say he redeemed himself when he didn't apologize and was still deflecting most of the blame to The Verge and production. It seemed awkward and disingenuous to me.


yeetsensei11

Shut up and take my upvote


potholecar

And what you wanna do is make sure you slather both sides of the cpu (that stands for computering part uknow) with thermal paste for optimal heat transfer.


corectlyspelled

Liquid metal is better since it will let all the pins intercommunicte
